About the AI on this siteHow ifalls.news uses AI

ifalls.news is a small operation, and much of what you read here is written by AI systems we run. They read public sources, such as city and county agendas and minutes, school newsletters, park, weather and water-level services, and community calendars, and turn them into the articles, roundups and listings on this site. The box at the top of an AI-written article names the AI model and the sources it worked from.

Every automated article goes through automated checks before it publishes: one for structure and wording, and for most of our feeds a fact-check that compares the draft against its sources. A draft that fails is held for a person to look at. We do not read every article before it goes live. People review some of what publishes, spot-check the rest, and fix what readers report.

That means mistakes get through: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a number read off the wrong line, a meeting that was rescheduled after the agenda posted. For anything that matters, such as a meeting time, a closure, a deadline or a price, check the original source linked in the article.

If you spot an error, tell us through the correction form or at info@ifalls.news. We fix errors as soon as we see them.

Content on this site is provided as is. ifalls.news, Small Town Tech Inc., their staff and partners are not liable for decisions made on the strength of an AI-written article, and an AI-written article does not state a position of ifalls.news or its staff.

The Minnesota DNR’s Outdoor Skills and Stewardship Series has wrapped up its winter webinar lineup, and for residents of International Falls and Koochiching County, there’s good news — all sessions are recorded and available to watch for free at any time.

The winter series included four topics with clear appeal for folks in the northland. The ice fishing for walleye session — covering gear, where to go, and proven ice angling techniques — is particularly relevant here, where walleye fishing on Rainy Lake and area waters is a way of life.

The full winter lineup:

  • Indigenous Crafts — The process and meaning behind traditional porcupine quillwork, deer hide tanning, and other crafts
  • Ice Fishing for Walleye — Necessary gear, where to find walleye, and ice angling techniques
  • Bat Boxes — What they are, why they matter, which bat species rely on them, and updated Minnesota DNR guidelines
  • Hmong Hunting Heritage — What hunting means to Hmong people, its role as survival in Southeast Asia, and how that heritage continues in the U.S.

All webinars are free and live-captioned. While the live sessions have passed, recordings are posted on the DNR’s Outdoor Skills and Stewardship Series webpage — no registration required to view archived episodes.

The DNR also offers a range of other education resources, including boat and water safety, hunter education, firearms safety, and recreational vehicle safety training. Their I Can! program helps people of all ages get started with camping, paddling, mountain biking, fishing, and archery.
